Gusto Quai du Général-Guisan 34, 1204 Genève reviews menu price

Absolutely some of the most delicious food I have ever had. The chicken was perfect and incredibly juicy. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Just perfect.

The menu is pretty boring, nothing exciting to eat. I chose risotto, a mountain of risotto (which wasn’t a true risotto), and 3 st Jacques. You could have put 3 more on the plate, it was ok, but felt like it was already prepared and just heated up. So, remember this is a 5* hotel, even though I only had a main course, the bread that was served upfront was old and no butter or olive oil, not even a separate plate. The wine and champagne came in glasses from the bar, they don’t show you the bottles. Sorry, that’s not perfect. The view to the Christmas market is nice. Oh, and one could put more effort into the decoration of the room, it feels so empty, the plants on the tables are dying.

Excellent restaurant with friendly and very professional staff. Delicious food inspired by old Italian recipes.

We have just left this restaurant after possibly one of the most disappointing meals and unhygenic restrooms I have experienced. We arrived at Gusto restaurant within The Metropole which is considered a 5* hotel and we have heard good things about the restaurant previously so we were excited to experience a high standard of dining. We ordered an amuse bouche of caviar … it arrived with a scallop carpaccio in a white sauce with the caviar hidden underneath leaves … this plate was very over seasoned and unnecessarily salty which ruined the dish. The entree was a fried calamari dish and a ravioli neither of these were acceptable . The calamari was over fried the leek undercooked and sat in a very overpowering sauce this was sent back not eaten. The ravioli pasta although thin was undercooked to the point of chewy and the filling inside very bland. The main was a fillet of beef with very poor presentation and the fillet itself was chewy so again was not eaten. During the meal I visited the ladies restroom only to find as I walk in there were used tissues all over the floor and worst still of the three toilets present stall number 1. Had what I can only assume was dried menstrual blood on the seat the next toilet had excrement in and all had overflowing sanitary bins. (See pictures) This is most certainly not the standard I would expect from an establishment such as this and I was horrified and disgusted. This incident put me off returning to eat in the restaurant as cleanliness and hygiene is something that I think should never be compromised in a restaurant restroom. This meal set us back to the tune of 282 francs and although the service was attentive and the wine good I really can’t give any praise to this experience other than this ! With only two other tables dining alongside us when we arrived the restaurant was practically empty and when we asked if the head chef was present to our dismay we learned that he was and he had served us this rubbish. We are well travelled and versed in fine dining and cuisines and feel so let down by our whole experience and now could never recommend this restaurant to our clients. Not good enough and I would definitely avoid …. style over substance!

We went to the Italian brunch buffet on a Sunday: it’s definitely a great selection of Italian starters: several Mozzarella options, seafood salads, ham selection, and plenty pasta and hot dishes, the desserts are a selected choice of cakes, and fruit tartes or fruit salads and little mousses. Overall food quality is great and fresh, tasty! Only area of improvement: the meat dishes were overcooked, and the service was quite slow to bring drinks and clean up the tables.

At this price there are much better hotel brunches in Geneva. The cold buffet is nice but nothing to write home about… the warm buffet is not tasty and the choice is very narrow. Same story for the deserts. Overall it is way too pricy for what you get !

Booked for lunch on the terrace today. Arrived at 12.30 and by 13.40 we had still not received our main course. Terrible service frankly and totally unacceptable from a so called 5 star establishment.

Brilliant food and lovely atmosphere

I liked their desert
